Favorite Quotes
My two favorite quotes were:
- "But I've learned over the past year what it really means to be able to miss someone. In order to miss someone, that means you were privileged enough to have them in your life to begin with (pg. 296)." When I read this I though my heart was going to melt. I thought that this quote showed how loving Holder was towards Sky. Holder is nothing what everyone accuses him of.
- "I wonder if it is possible for people to fall in love with a person one characteristic at a time, or if you fall for the entire person all at once (pg.132)." This quote made me think, I think that this was a good question. How do you really know when you have fallen in love; it all just seems like it happens at once but that doesn't mean that you didn't fall in love with them characteristic by characteristic.
5 Star Rating
This is a must read book! Once you start reading it, you will not be able to put it down. I highly recommend this book to all female readers.
